Pros

-good place to start your career, so get the name on your resume, and move on to a much better job -good learning opportunity -mostly, no micro management when running a desk -good networking opportunities

Cons

-some of the partners very nice, some have an ego the size of a planet. Really depends on service line and pure luck - nobody listens to the admin staff re: anything. It's pretty clear we are regarded as second class citizens. Partners have all the power. -Pay is below market standard, and outright laughable for the amount of responsibility and work -lots of politics -nepotism -cold and impersonal atmosphere, it seems people only start acknowledging you if you somehow survived your first year -support staff excluded from service line events consistently, as if we don't work with everybody on a daily basis... therefore, we are not invited to baby showers, socials etc. this is quite insulting and demoralizing. God forbid we are in the same room at the same time, the horror! Did not realize I was in a time warp, and back in a feudal system. -can be pretty boring work sometimes, lots of stress and high expectations, with no reward whatsoever.

Pros

Great brand recognition, many companies look to hire from the big 4. Travel can be exciting. Great pension for those looking to stay with the company for 10+ years. Excellent opportunity to gain basic managerial experience. Work and experience is available to gain in virtually any field if you are willing to do "busy" work for senior managers.

Cons

Hours can be long, work can be repetitive, must adjust to multiple management styles and change your work style to please them all on each individual project. Must answer to both the client and your manager as your boss. No singe direct manager so year end reviews can be very opinionated.
